powerpc: fix exception clearing in e500 SPE float emulation
The e500 SPE floating-point emulation code clears existing exceptions (__FPU_FPSCR &= ~FP_EX_MASK;) before ORing in the exceptions from the emulated operation. However, these exception bits are the "sticky", cumulative exception bits, and should only be cleared by the user program setting SPEFSCR, not implicitly by any floating-point instruction (whether executed purely by the hardware or emulated). The spurious clearing of these bits shows up as missing exceptions in glibc testing. Fixing this, however, is not as simple as just not clearing the bits, because while the bits may be from previous floating-point operations (in which case they should not be cleared), the processor can also set the sticky bits itself before the interrupt for an exception occurs, and this can happen in cases when IEEE 754 semantics are that the sticky bit should not be set. Specifically, the "invalid" sticky bit is set in various cases with non-finite operands, where IEEE 754 semantics do not involve raising such an exception, and the "underflow" sticky bit is set in cases of exact underflow, whereas IEEE 754 semantics are that this flag is set only for inexact underflow. Thus, for correct emulation the kernel needs to know the setting of these two sticky bits before the instruction being emulated. When a floating-point operation raises an exception, the kernel can note the state of the sticky bits immediately afterwards. Some <fenv.h> functions that affect the state of these bits, such as fesetenv and feholdexcept, need to use prctl with PR_GET_FPEXC and PR_SET_FPEXC anyway, and so it is natural to record the state of those bits during that call into the kernel and so avoid any need for a separate call into the kernel to inform it of a change to those bits. Thus, the interface I chose to use (in this patch and the glibc port) is that one of those prctl calls must be made after any userspace change to those sticky bits, other than through a floating-point operation that traps into the kernel anyway. feclearexcept and fesetexceptflag duly make those calls, which would not be required were it not for this issue. The previous EGLIBC port, and the uClibc code copied from it, is fundamentally broken as regards any use of prctl for floating-point exceptions because it didn't use the PR_FP_EXC_SW_ENABLE bit in its prctl calls (and did various worse things, such as passing a pointer when prctl expected an integer). If you avoid anything where prctl is used, the clearing of sticky bits still means it will never give anything approximating correct exception semantics with existing kernels. I don't believe the patch makes things any worse for existing code that doesn't try to inform the kernel of changes to sticky bits - such code may get incorrect exceptions in some cases, but it would have done so anyway in other cases.
